Buy luxury watches from the comfort of your own home as host Tim Mosso guides a curated safari of top watch brands including Swiss standards Rolex, Audemars Piguet, Patek Philippe, Breguet, F.P. Journe, plus A. Lange & Sohne of Glashutte, Germany. Sports watches, dress watches, tourbillon watches, and dive watches are on the breakfast menu this morning on WatchBox Reviews.

Rolex watches play an unconventional role thanks to an unusual complication and two Daytona chronographs from different schools of taste. The Rolex Daytona in stainless steel with matching bezel and black dial is a discontinued model and a purist’s Rolex. In comparison, the extravagant platinum Daytona with baguette hour indices and baguette diamond bezel is an ice-blue spectacle for a confident dandy. Finally, the 42mm stainless steel Sky Dweller is a practical annual calendar GMT that puts to rest questions about Rolex’s skill with complicated watches.

Audemars Piguet’s legendary Royal Oak arrives in a spectacular post-2017 form; the blue grande tapisserie dial pairs with silver chronograph registers in a 41mm stainless steel case. This watch can be described as a blue-tinted “inverse panda” dial for chronograph watch aficionados.

FP Journe impresses with two tourbillon watches and a sensational Ferrari-inspired Centigraphe. The FP Journe Tourbillon Remontoir is the original 38mm Journe tourbillon with constant force device; the example is a fourth series watch. A show-stopping green dial Journe “Jade Tourbillon” from the later Tourbillon Souverain family offers one of Journe’s rarest dials in a signature model. Finally, the Jean Todt-inspired Centigraphe F is a 1/100th-of-a-second chronograph enlivened by Scuderia Ferrari’s signature racing red.

Patek Philippe brings only one watch to the table, but it’s a standout: the 2019 Calatrava Weekly Calendar. This stainless steel 40mm calendar watch includes dial text based on handwriting and a next-generation caliber 26-330 automatic movement with hacking seconds.

Four spectacular timepieces from Germany’s A. Lange & Sohne stun courtesy of two tourbillon regulators, a perpetual calendar, a fusee and chain, and a flyback chronograph that needs no introduction: the Datograph!
